Summary
“Is this the infamous Scoops Ahoy uniform that I’ve heard all about from Robin?” He reaches around Steve grabbing for the hanger. His bare chest is pressed up against Steve’s back and he can feel the vibration as Steve groans.
“Yes. Why was Robin even telling you about this?” Eddie gleefully pulls the outfit from the closet and twirls around with his arms held out to look it over.
“She told me all about the Russians and how you guys became friends, including the stupid outfits you had to wear. She found it funny that you kept striking out with the ladies, although she said the uniform was only partially to blame for that.” He’s practically bouncing on the balls of his feet. “You have to try this on right now. I have to see it in all its glory.” He’s holding out the uniform towards Steve, trying to picture him in it. It doesn’t escape his notice that the bottoms look sinfully short. He doesn’t think he’s seen Steve in shorts since he played basketball. He’s already getting an eyeful with Steve standing there in only a towel glistening from his shower, so he doesn’t see why he can’t also get a show.

Summary
He had gone through the whole attracted-also-to-men crisis in the years before, so even though he still hadn’t managed to tell Robin, or even find the courage to say the words to describe himself aloud, the attraction wasn’t a surprise. It had occurred to him when Jonathan had won over Nancy that while he was mostly jealous of Jonathan because he was pretty sure some part of him would always love Nancy, orbiting back to her at any given opportunity, sometimes he was jealous of Nancy, of the way she let Jonathan kiss her, his big hands resting on her face, and actually, in retrospect, the whole hand thing should have become apparent to him way earlier than it had.
All that to say, Steve was well aware he was attracted to Eddie and occasionally dreamt about sucking on Eddie’s fingers, but it didn’t have to mean anything, and moreover, couldn’t. The whole thing with El and the Upside Down derailed his life, but eventually he was going to get his shit back together and back on track, and he couldn’t be doing that and also bringing men home on the weekends.

Summary
When he started this, Steve knew it was going to be a mistake.
(He knew he was going to get his heart broken.)
Eddie’s hands are rough on him, pulling him by the hips into a bruising kiss. He kisses back just as fiercely, licking into Eddie’s mouth, hungry and desperate.
(He doesn't really care, not when he gets to kiss Eddie like this.)
***
Or, Steve and Eddie begin a friends-with-benefits situation.
(And get a lot more than that.)- Language:

Summary
"I'm sorry, you're what?" Dustin squeaked. He must have misheard.
"I'm gay," Eddie repeated. "Queer, fruity, a homo, a friend of Dorothy, a fairy. I like men. That's why none of your options have sounded remotely appealing to me. That's why I've never had a girlfriend."
Dustin sat back in his chair, stunned. A lot of things were making sense now.
"Oooookay," Dustin said, nodding. So now he had to find Eddie a boyfriend. More difficult, but he liked a challenge. "So what's your type? We can find you a boyfriend."
